关于宁夏医科大学拟提拔副校长姜怡邓学术不端情况的说明
姜怡邓的拟提拔公示链接：
http://www.nxnews.net/sz/gbgs/201711/t20171109_4410737.html
作为西部少数民族地区宁夏的唯一一所医学高校，提拔的人选竟然有证据确
凿的学术不端行为，何以教书育人？！具体学术不端情况说明请查看附件的文档，
另文档中的宁夏医学院于2008年9月正式更名为宁夏医科大学。
宁夏医学院Jiang Yideng造假，其于2008年投在Journal of Experimental
Biology (JEB)上的文章已被撤稿，其它几篇文章也有被陆续撤稿的嫌疑，该杂
志对医学院的评价不置可否，造成极坏影响。看看吧！
The Journal of Experimental Biology (JEB) has issued the first
retraction in its 85 year history, the journal reported in an
editorial and a retraction notice in its December 1 issue. Although
the authors' institution told JEB their reuse of images was a careless
error, the journal's editor-in-chief called it a case of outright fraud.
Journal of Experimental Biology (JEB)建刊85年来第一次公布撤稿。公
告发布在12月第一期中。虽然作者所在单位告知Journal of Experimental
Biology (JEB)该事件是由于图像失误，但是，杂志主编认定这是一起公然造假。
The retracted paper -- published by Yideng Jiang, a molecular
biologist at Ningxia Medical College in Yinchuan, China, and his
colleagues in the March 15, 2008 issue of the journal -- investigated
the effects of the amino acid-like compound homocysteine on the
accumulation of cholesterol-rich macrophages known as foam cells.
被撤稿作者系中国银川宁夏医学院Jiang Yideng及其同事，文章发表在杂志
2008-3-15。研究了effects of the amino acid-like compound
homocysteine on the accumulation of cholesterol-rich macrophages known
as foam cells.
A reader alerted the journal's editor-in-chief, Hans Hoppeler, a
physiologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland, that "he had
seen similar plots in other papers," Hoppeler told The Scientist. "We
tracked that, and it was quite obvious that the same plot was used in
several publications."
是一位读者提醒杂志主编，瑞士波恩大学生理学家Hans Hoppeler，该读者
在其它文章中看到相似内容。主编告知这位科学家：经核对，很明显相同内容被
用于几篇文章。
Hoppeler hired an independent expert -- "a senior high level
academic working with the same technology in a very close field, but
unrelated to [JEB] or that particular area of research" -- who found
that figure 6B in the paper re-used Western blot bands that had been
published the previous year in a paper in DNA and Cell Biology.
主编Hoppeler雇佣一位在相关领域资深的专家，该专家与本杂志无关。最终
调查发现：文章中图6B中的Western blot条带已在之前发表在DNA and Cell
Biology.中的一篇文章中使用。
Hoppeler said the re-used Western blots were also likely used in
at least one other paper, but did not say which. "It depends where you
set the level of evidence," he noted.
Hoppeler声称重复使用的图似乎不止在一篇文章中出现。
Jiang has published only three other papers, a second paper in DNA
and Cell Biology this year and two papers in Acta Biochimica et
Biophysica Sinica in May and September 2007, according to both ISI and
Pubmed. Of these papers, The Scientist found only one other that
showed Western blots analyzing similar data to that found in the
retracted JEB study -- figure 7 of the September 2007 Acta Biochimica
et Biophysica Sinica paper.
Jiang已经发表了另外三篇文章，另一篇于2008年在DNA and Cell Biology
上，另两篇在于2007年五月和九月发表在Acta Biochimica et Biophysica
Sinica上。读者发现发表在2008年JEB杂志上的Western blots数据与发表在
2007 九月Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica 上的图7一致。
JEB -- a journal with a 2007 impact factor of 2.97 according to
ISI -- also concluded that the paper contained discrepancies in the
methods and materials section, and that other data were mislabeled or
inappropriately presented.
JEB杂志同时得出结论：其文章在方法与材料上存在矛盾，其它数据亦存在
标记错误或使用不当的问题。
At JEB's request, Ningxia Medical College -- the institute of six
of the paper's seven authors -- carried out its own investigation,
which concluded that the authors mistakenly reused the Western blot
images due to carelessness in computer file-naming, and that further
inaccuracies stemmed from limited English abilities, according to the
published retraction.
基于JEB杂志的要求，七位作者中的六位作者所属单位宁夏医学院进行了调
查。认为是由于作者计算机文件命名失误导致错误重复使用了图像；其它的问题
是由于英语能力有限所致。
Jiang and his coworkers confirmed the error in figure 6B and
provided a revised image to JEB. They did not admit any other problems
with the paper, said Hoppeler, who has served on JEB's editorial board
since 1995 and as editor-in-chief since 2004.
主编Hoppeler 已为JEB 杂志评审组工作13年，并于2004年任主编。他说:”
Jiang及其合作者确认了图6B的错误，并提供了一张修改后的图像给JEB。但是他
们并没有承认出现在在文章中的其它问题。”
JEB also contacted the West China College of Preclinical and
Forensic Medical Sciences at Sichuan University, the institute of the
paper's last author, Shuren Wang, but never received acknowledgement
of any of their letters or E-mails.
JEB杂志已联系了文章最后一位作者Shuren Wang所在单位四川大学华西医学
院，但是没有受到其任何回信。
"I think this was fraud," Hoppeler told The Scientist. But a
retraction is "as far as we can go. We have the retraction, we know
the facts are on the table, and it's clear to anybody who will ever
read the paper [that this was fraud]. Beyond that it's not [JEB's]
responsibility to go any further."
主编Hoppeler说：我认为这是一种欺骗行为。但是我们能做到的只能是撤稿。
我们已经撤稿。我们知道事实已摆在桌面上，任何人只要读到该文章都会一目了
然是一种造假行为。
DNA and Cell Biology has been alerted of the problem, but no
further actions have been taken, Hoppeler said.
另一杂志DNA and Cell Biology也已经知道了这个事件，但是还未采取行动。
Jiang's 2007 DNA and Cell Biology paper has been cited 5 times
according to ISI. Jiang's retracted JEB paper has not been cited.
Jiang在2007年发表在DNA and Cell Biology上的文章已被引用5次。而被撤
稿件还未被引用。
JEB's publisher, the Company of Biologists, declined to comment
for this article. Jiang did not respond to E-mail requests for an
interview.

When in doubt, ask to see raw data before approving a paper to be
published
by anonymous poster
[Comment posted 2008-11-30 10:01:43]
I think beside the obvious responsibility of the authors for such
scandalous misconduct, reviewers and editors overseeing such obvious
attempts to betray the scientific community have to be blamed too.
Proper peer review needs time!
XXXXXXXXXXX
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how much
non-sense papers get published even in many highly visible journals. I
think the public must be made aware of on how their tax money is being
used in the name of Biological Science research. We should draw
attention of The senators and Congressmen to these issues. It's high
time.
One way to counteract this is:
The Reviewers and Editors should be held accountable as the authors,
when a published paper is revealed to be fraudulent.
Their names should be revealed for everyone to see - so they can
be judged by their ethical lapses as the corrupted authors.
While reviewing an article for a journal, he Reviewers/Editors
should have the rights to ask for RAW data/DNA constructs/details of
the sources, screening data on antibodies or transgenics that have
been made to be used in the studies, etc, should there be a need.
Implement this, and you will see, there will be a very FEW people
left to continue in the profession of Biological Research, there will
be LESS publications. But then there will be only honest ones left and
quality research done.

More retractions expected
应该看到更多撤稿

Thank you to The Scientist for commenting on this retraction. The
authors in question have published six relevant papers. Cursory and
detailed examination will reward the careful observer with many more
examples of "unscientific file-naming conventions and negligence". One
of the more creative involves Fig 6 from 1., Fig 5b from 3. and Fig 3b
from 5. I await, with hopeful interest, the retraction from DNA Cell
Biology, who were informed of these irregularities on 6 March 2008.

Re-used Blots and Figures
by ERIK MARONDE
[Comment posted 2008-11-20 15:22:07]
As a reviewer I made a similar experience with a manuscript from a
mostly Chinese affiliated author group. Due to serious concerns on the
correctness of the description of the experiments and the obviously
reused figures (2 of 5) from an already published paper I rejected the
manuscript and corresponded my reasons to the editor. Some weeks later
I received the unchanged manuscript to review for another journal and
rejected it again once more reporting my reasons. Finally I saw the
manuscript published, mostly unchanged. Later I had a similar
experience but before I sent my review the editor decided to reject
the manuscript due to serious ethical concerns and suspected fraud. I
think beside the obvious responsibility of the authors for such
scandalous misconduct, reviewers and editors overseeing such obvious
attempts to betray the scientific community have to be blamed too.
Proper peer review needs time!
